🎄 Dog Christmas Gift Ideas - What to Buy Your Pup This Year
It’s the most wonderful time of the year - and your dog deserves to be part of the fun!
Whether they’ve been a Good Boy or a Very Good Girl, these dog Christmas gift ideas are guaranteed to get tails wagging.
Here’s our festive roundup for 2025:
1. 🧠 Enrichment Toys & Puzzle Games
A tired brain = a happy dog. Keep them busy over the holidays with:
Lickimats: Great for calm, soothing enrichment (try peanut butter + banana!)
Snuffle mats: Perfect for scent-based feeding and keeping pups busy indoors
KONG toys: Fill with frozen treats for long-lasting fun
👉 Local stockists: Check independent pet shops or your local garden centre
2. 🍗 Natural Treat Hampers
Support small UK pet brands this year with all-natural treat boxes:
Dried meat chews (great for teeth!)
Doggy advent calendars
Festive flavours like turkey, cranberry & pumpkin
🎁 Bundle them into a cute hamper and tie with ribbon — or check Etsy for pre-made options!
